not wear her state robes. but was
dressed in black. Her carriage was
drawn by eight ponies, and Duke of
Connaught, her sons, the crown
Prince Imperial Of Germany, the
Marquis Of Lorne, and host of other
royal guests rodein full uniform beside
the queens coach. The queen as she
left the palace seemed to be in excel
lent spirits and smiled and bowed
graciously to the people on every side.
BY the time the royal procession got
started from Buckingham palace the
weather became pretty warm, and the
breeze 30 refreshing all the morning

emerged from the abbey. She at once
resumed her carriage and returned to
Buckingham palace, this time taking
the route she went after coronation

Along Parliament street, except at
the government offices, seats had been
erected and handsomely decorated.
The grand stand which was erected
facing the horse guards and along side
Chapel Royal was q grand sight. The
queen gracefully acknowledged the
salutes and cheering Of its occupants.

places was terrible until Wellington
